The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You play as humanity's last hope, frantically throwing rocks at endless overwhelming enemies in a slow, desperate fight for survival.

What players say

Players compare it favorably to Vampire Survivors but warn the start is slow. Opinions split on critical hits, which some say ruin the pacing by scattering enemies. The game is still in beta and needs more balance, modes, and bug fixes. Enemy spawn rates feel high, and powers can feel limited against large hordes.
